Contact Information European Commission - PRESS RELEASES - Press release - State aid: Commission approves restructuring aid for Slovenian airline Adria Airways Brussels, 9 July 2014 State aid: Commission approves restructuring aid for Slovenian airline Adria Airways The European Commission has concluded that restructuring measures taken by Slovenia in favour of the national airline Adria Airways were in line with EU state aid rules. The Commission found in particular that the company's restructuring plan will enable it to become viable in the long term without unduly distorting competition in the Single Market. Moreover, two capital injections in 2007 and 2009 and the sale of an Adria Airways subsidiary in 2010 were carried out on market terms and therefore did not involve any state aid. Adria Airways is a majority state-owned company that has been facing difficulties for several years. In order to address these difficulties, Adria Airways adopted a restructuring plan in September 2011. The Commission opened an in-depth investigation in November 2012 (see IP/12/1246 ).

Adria Airways benefitted from three public capital injections in 2007, 2009 and 2010, amounting to around €15.2 million in total, carried out through the state-owned holding Posebna družba za podjetniško svetovanje d.d. (PDP) and its predecessor Kapitalska druzba d.d. (KAD), respectively. The in-depth investigation has shown that these capital injections were based on reliable valuations and that Adria Airways paid the market price for the capital. The measures therefore provided no undue advantage to Adria Airways and do not constitute state aid. The investigation has also shown that the share price for the sale of Adria Airways' subsidiary Adria Airways Tehnika (AAT) to PDP and the majority state-owned manager of Ljubljana's airport in 2010-2011 was determined on the basis of a valuation report prepared by an independent expert. The Commission concluded that the decision to invest in AAT was taken on the basis of market-oriented considerations. The sale therefore did not involve state aid.

In relation to the €50 million cash injection carried out in 2011 by Slovenia and PDP, the Commission has concluded that it does constitute state aid. Although several banks converted €19.7 million of debt into equity at the same time, these conversions cannot be compared to the cash injection provided by the state. The banks improved their credit position vis-à-vis Adria Airways given that their remaining debt received improved terms and collateralisation whilst the state assumed new risks by increasing its shareholding. This measure therefore constitutes state aid within the meaning of EU rules as it provided the company with an advantage. The Commission then assessed whether this aid is compatible with the Commission's 2004 guidelines on state aid for the rescue and restructuring of companies in difficulty (see MEMO/04/172 ).

This assessment has shown that: - Adria Airways' restructuring plan is based on realistic assumptions and should enable the company to return to long-term viability within a reasonable timeframe; - the cancellation of scheduled routes, the surrender of slots and reduction of the fleet led to a capacity reduction that will limit the distortions of competition brought about by the aid; and - Adria Airways will sell several assets, including AAT, in order to bear part of the restructuring costs. The granting of the aid therefore complies with the conditions set out in the guidelines: the aid is accompanied by a restructuring plan that should enable the company to become viable again, appropriate measures are foreseen to compensate for the distortions of competition created by the aid, and the company contributes to the costs of restructuring at the required level. The debt-to-equity conversion carried out by the banks in 2011 is a sign that the markets believe that Adria Airways may become viable. Background Aid granted to companies in difficulty is highly distortive of competition as it artificially keeps a company in the market that would otherwise have left it. It can therefore only be granted under strict conditions.

The Commission's guidelines on rescue and restructuring aid for companies in difficulty (see MEMO/04/172 ) require, in particular, that beneficiaries work out a sound restructuring plan that enables them to become viable in the long-term on the basis of realistic assumptions. This is to avoid that a company that cannot become viable again keeps asking for public support. The plan must provide for measures to reduce the distortions of competition induced by the state support, such as the reduction of capacity or market share. Furthermore, the beneficiary needs to make a significant own contribution to the costs of restructuring. Finally, rescue and/or restructuring aid may be granted only once over a 10-year period ('one time, last time' principle). Public interventions in companies that carry out economic activities can be considered free of state aid within the meaning of the EU rules when they are made on terms that a private player operating under market conditions would have accepted (the so-called "market economy investor principle" – MEIP). Today, the Commission has also finalised its in-depth investigations for SAS Scandinavian Airlines (see IP/ 14 /797) and airBaltic (see IP/14/ 789 ).

Previously, the Commission adopted decisions concerning Air Malta (see IP/12/702 ) and Czech Airlines (see IP/12/981 ). See also policy brief here: The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.32715 in the State Aid Register on the DG Competition website once any confidentiality issues have been resolved. New publications of state aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in the State Aid Weekly e-News . Contacts : Profile on Adria Airways | CAPA - Centre for Aviation airBaltic reaps rewards of restructuring rigour in Riga. Launch operator of CS300 returns to growth 9-Dec-2016 11:03 AM On 28-Nov-2016 airBaltic took delivery of the world's first Bombardier CS300 for commercial service, which will begin on 14-Dec-2016 with a flight from Riga to Amsterdam. It will receive a further 19 of the aircraft variant by 2019. Just five years ago airBaltic was heavily loss-making and close to bankruptcy.

Under CEO Martin Gauss Latvia's national airline has negotiated a successful restructuring programme, established a track record of growing profits, secured a private investor alongside the national government, made significant load factor gains, and is now returning to capacity growth. The new CSeries order should allow airBaltic to build on these achievements by replacing its ageing Boeing 737s with one of the most modern and efficient narrowbodies aircraft in the world, while also providing additional growth capacity. Together with its Dash-8 turboprop aircraft this purchase should give it a fleet well adapted to the niche needs of a hybrid regional hub airline based in northern Europe's smaller markets. Montenegro aviation enters new era with arrival of Ryanair 4-Jul-2013 8:09 PM Montenegro’s small aviation market has been witness to some interesting developments since the Jun-2013 entry of Ryanair. The Ireland-based carrier is now the sole LCC operating in Montenegro with a single route however it has expressed interest in opening up the market further. Other European LCCs will be watching Ryanair’s movements in the market.

The small Southeastern European nation of just under 14,000km2 has a population of only about 620,000. Montenegro’s 2012 GDP was USD4.231 billion, which has significantly increased since 2000 when it was USD1.707 billion, according to World Bank data. Air traffic to/from the country has increased from just under 700,000 passengers in 2005 to 1.345 million passengers in 2012. Montenegro Airlines is the national carrier and sole scheduled operator. It currently provides around 41% of total seat capacity to/from Montenegro, according to CAPA and Innovata data. Fourteen foreign full-service carriers currently serve the country, accounting for around 58% of capacity while Ryanair, the only LCC in the market, currently contributes around 1% of seat capacity.

Romania's TAROM remains confident of reversing its fortunes despite facing huge competitive hurdles 25-Jul-2012 11:52 AM Management of Romania's TAROM believes it will not slip into a scenario like Hungary’s national carrier Malev, which ceased operations in Feb-2012, arguing that it has the “capability to adapt quickly”. But TAROM executives will find a hard time proving their case as the Romanian carrier has recorded losses for four consecutive years and is expected to remain in the red in 2012. TAROM faces significant pressure from LCCs, namely from Wizz Air, which is absorbing an increasingly larger part of its market. In addition, the airline’s efforts to restructure and find a new business model are hindered by repeated delays of plans to sell 20% of the company. Eventually the Romanian carrier’s full ownership should end up in private hands. But it is unlikely that a private investor will step forward to purchase a minority stake in state-owned TAROM in the current European financial environment. Europe’s economies are overall in bad shape, and there is an oversupply of small and medium airlines for sale whilst potential buyers are scarce.

Flag carriers of the former Yugoslavia urged to unite 10-Apr-2012 10:23 AM National carriers in countries of the former Yugoslavia are struggling to survive in the current economic environment as operating costs rise and they face competition from large network carriers and expanding low-cost carriers. The former Yugoslavian nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia all have national airlines but are struggling to become profitable, while the national carriers of Kosovo and Macedonia have already failed and have not been revived. Association of European Airlines (AEA) secretary general Ulrich Schulte Strathaus recently told Slovenian newspaper Dnevnik that national carriers in the former Yugoslavia need to unite into a single carrier in order to survive. Mr Strathaus stated, “the once single Yugoslav market is now fragmented and a regional solution is necessary. The region needs an airline that would cover local needs and connect with global hubs.” The main airlines in the region are Bosnia and Herzegovina’s B&H Airlines, Croatia’s Croatia Airlines, Montenegro’s Montenegro Airlines, Serbia’s Jat Airways and Slovenia’s Adria Airways.

Slovenia’s Adria Airways seeks strategic investor following restructuring 25-Jan-2012 10:41 AM Slovenia’s Adria Airways this year plans to search for a strategic investor, hopeful it can attract interest from other airlines after completing a restructuring and recapitalisation in 2011. But the flag carrier, which has emerged as a significantly smaller and less ambitious entity, still faces significant challenges as it joins several Eastern European carriers in trying to sell stakes in adverse market conditions. The Slovenian Government sold just under 30% of Adria Airways in Sep-2011 to a group of four banks as part of a debt for equity swap. The agreement also included a EUR50 million cash infusion from the Government, which has had to pump capital into the Ljubljana-based carrier multiple times over the last several years to cover continued losses. But the banks, which include two Slovenian and two international banks, are considered short-term investors and only agreed to the deal as it was seen as the only alternative to avoiding bankruptcy. The four banks are expected to sell their stakes at the first opportunity while the Government is also eager to further reduce its share, which now stands at just over 70%.
